Stealing the Throne is a ornate masterpiece about a group of science-fiction scoundrels who are on a mission to steal a giant mecha left over from the cataclysmic space war a thousand years ago. No prep, no GM, no dice. All you need is a deck of playing cards and 2-4 more friends who are ready to spend a few hours in sci-fi heists. What more can you ask for?

Played Stinging Nettles last night, creating our own setting from scratch. While it has a few little ambiguities in the rules, these were points that we found to be generative in terms of us coming up with interesting points. The wheel made the pacing of story elements have a definite "breathing in, breathing out" pace to them, while the notion of grabbing the nettle of social change was really clear. As we closed, we had a handful if interesting factions, changed peoples, along with a society wrestling with the ideology of work. Beautiful and poginiant, tho I can see how on other nights we could give it a different flavour but still have the notion of a society wrestling with how to handle change drive play.
